The North Canton Rotary Club was addressed at its meeting
Thursday'evening by Hjenry Ernst, of 'the Canton Cjiamber" of
Commerce, who' spoke on "Canton as an Industrial" Center.'.'f''
He spoke about die importance of the steel mills in Canton and
said that" they'Mve the'largest electric furnaces in the world fof-
makin'g ajjoy steel. He' said that the present emergency has increased the'population of .Canton to an "estimated 120,000' arid tjiat
the amount of retail" sales' in Canton for 1,943'on'which sales "tax
Was paid was $64,000,000. ' ' ' " ' ' .'
He gave attention to the health
condition and accident''situation due
to the influx of outside-workers and
said that-accidents 'showed ra' slight
decrease in 1943 but- are increasing
already'this year.' '-'"
According to Mr. Ernst, births
far exceeded deaths in 1941 and 1942
but there was not as 'great a differ-

Problems For Post War
Too many people take it for granted that there will be
. plenty of jobs" for everybody after the war. Some of our
largest industries are already coordinating the activities of
their medical departments and employment departments, 'in
orcDer to meet the problems of the rehabilitation of veterans.
'The roads back to normal production and civilian activities
haVe been-closed along most fronts for a long time—and they
IJpF must be reopened. It will take more than mere super-high-
ways»to accomplish the job, because so much economic machinery of the Nation must be hauled out of the scrap heap.
The'•-building' of millions of new homes may became a helpful
\pr6gi-am, but those homes cannot become the property of
workers unless the right kind and volume of employment is
c^e'jlted.
' ' l It is perfectly obvious that this country cannot get "back
to^-normal'' unless the red lights are turned off, and unreasonable prosecutions cut out of the "government control" and
"airti^ti'wst"' formulas. -'"- li!!
,' The'tracks must, be cleared for increased highway, airway "and: railroad transportation. There must be plenty of
newsprint for.'all' newspapers. It seems almost frightful that
300r-hewspapers should have been reported suspended in Kansk's in recent weeks', while'at the same time metropolitan "and
ri&rtjkmal publications are Unable to get enough paper"to"supply "their regular readers: ' ' ' ' -•'.•-'■ :
'" TJiere'must be more civilian production, and fewer "snoopers1'* 'an the public payrolls. How would it be to restore one
of; the old orders -'in Democracy under which more people
would be free to exercise the privilege of minding their ciwn
business and' reducing the numbers'of "brass'hats" on public
payrolls?" '• ' ' •
'i!Eh.e'"£>est pos&ibie~sta:4 .would be for Congress to "face the

It's'time to get busy with these post war problems.

& fior Tax Simplification
1 Is there anyone today who does not feel the impact of the
complicated tax system ? Can there be anyone who does not
feel the need for simplification?
Let these people take heart, for from Senator Walter F.
George, Chairman of the Joint Congressional'Commit'tee on
Internal Revenue Taxation, whose duty it is to investigate
meas'ui'es'knd^nie'thdds'forthe^siniplincation of taxes,' comes'
this''^atement':',,t':' '< '"' ' '' ' ' ' •' • ; ; ' '•'" '"'

"However, I believe that the first step towards simplification-which: should be"' undertaken by the Committee is to' make
the'income tax'lawlmbre' simple" and understandable: '. .
"I believe' that1 'emphasis' should first be directed towards
theiricdme tax'ratherthan the'excess-profits tax ;'as" \ hope
the excess-profits'tax can be repealed immediately after the

h#st Barrier
*
' Congress, the bewhiskered target of caitoonists and
scapegoat for most of the country's ills, is actually a, part of
tKe Hast -barrier that stands between th American people'arid
outright despotism. The other part is the Supreme Court.
' "Ifb confirm this fact, one need only consider the recent
controversy^ between a leading merchandising concern, Safe-
v>ay- Stores! alid the OPA*. Several months ago, in conforming with''provision's of the Emergency Price Control Act,
S^leway' registered complaints with the OPA" setting forth
certain- alleged/injustices in the price rules. Congress' in-
cnicred a clause in-the Act stipulating that such "complaints
must be acted upon within 30 days by the QPA.' In the absence "of the privilege of recovering damages, prompt reilef
from, unworkable price decrees in the sole protection of merchandisers.
' ' Jtowever, the complaints were not answered, within the
prescribed period. Safeway then appealed to 'a special emergency court which held that since OPA had not denied'the
eompaint, the cause was not within that court's jurisdiction.
fiiTsimple terms, the decision, if alowed to "standi mean§ the
GRA-can prevent a private citizen from having- his day'in
court by merely neglecting to-pass judgment' upon any protest'coming before it!
*1'" As the' case goes before the United States Supreme
Court; a recent'" warning uttered by Representative Hattoh
W. Sumners of Texas, rings with new meaning:- "The bulk
of what are in effect our general laws are'now- being made
not'br Congress but by bureaucrats." The threat* of "bureayh
c%fcy. "to-pei'sonal; liberty- has become real and deadly. Only

The Fourth War Loan is part and

The slogan, "Let's "all Back the Attack," conveys the note of urgenc'y.
to everyone of us to do our utmost
to make certain that we do not have
another Dunkerque or Dieppe on our
hands. If you have anyone near the
battlefront—and who has not—you'
will want to sacrifice to the point of
hurt to buy extra war bonds.
This is the kind of a war you as an
individual can't brush off. You're
in it to the hilt. Not since the very
beginning .if the Republic have the
ringing words of the Founding
Fathers—"we pledge our lives and
our fortunes''—resounded so clearly
and «o truly. Because if we lose^
we lose all—not only"as a nation but

The' bonds of the United' States
of America are the best investmeiits'
in thc world today. They represent
both national and personal security.
The buying of War Bonds under
the stimulus and fervor of a campaign to support our men in the
armed services is only part of the
•privilege of Americans. Bonds
bought should be retained against
any impulse to turn them back into
cash, except to meet the most serious personal needs.
Bonds bought now and kept will
pro\ ide dependable income as well
as complete safety; the Series E
bond will store up capital for us—
store it up the more rapidly the
longer we keep them. As the Federal Reserve Board has recently
e'mphasized, these E bonds provide
a r.itc'of,return of 4 percent per annum during the last five years of
their life as compared with an average of 2.9 per cent over_ the whole
term ul" the bonds.
Whatever ityrpe of bonds we buy,
it is both prudent and patriotic to
keep them. They are the best possible safeguard against the -uncertainties of the long future.

The North Canton Rotary Club was addressed at its meeting
Thursday'evening by Hjenry Ernst, of 'the Canton Cjiamber" of
Commerce, who' spoke on "Canton as an Industrial" Center.'.'f''
He spoke about die importance of the steel mills in Canton and
said that" they'Mve the'largest electric furnaces in the world fof-
makin'g ajjoy steel. He' said that the present emergency has increased the'population of .Canton to an "estimated 120,000' arid tjiat

to the influx of outside-workers and
said that-accidents 'showed ra' slight

Problems For Post War
Too many people take it for granted that there will be

largest industries are already coordinating the activities of
their medical departments and employment departments, 'in
orcDer to meet the problems of the rehabilitation of veterans.
'The roads back to normal production and civilian activities
haVe been-closed along most fronts for a long time—and they
IJpF must be reopened. It will take more than mere super-high-
ways»to accomplish the job, because so much economic machinery of the Nation must be hauled out of the scrap heap.
The'•-building' of millions of new homes may became a helpful
\pr6gi-am, but those homes cannot become the property of
workers unless the right kind and volume of employment is
c^e'jlted.

to^-normal'' unless the red lights are turned off, and unreasonable prosecutions cut out of the "government control" and
"airti^ti'wst"' formulas. -'"- li!!

h#st Barrier
*
' Congress, the bewhiskered target of caitoonists and
scapegoat for most of the country's ills, is actually a, part of
tKe Hast -barrier that stands between th American people'arid
outright despotism. The other part is the Supreme Court.
' "Ifb confirm this fact, one need only consider the recent
controversy^ between a leading merchandising concern, Safe-
v>ay- Stores! alid the OPA*. Several months ago, in conforming with''provision's of the Emergency Price Control Act,
S^leway' registered complaints with the OPA" setting forth
certain- alleged/injustices in the price rules. Congress' in-
cnicred a clause in-the Act stipulating that such "complaints
must be acted upon within 30 days by the QPA.' In the absence "of the privilege of recovering damages, prompt reilef
from, unworkable price decrees in the sole protection of merchandisers.
' ' Jtowever, the complaints were not answered, within the
prescribed period. Safeway then appealed to 'a special emergency court which held that since OPA had not denied'the
eompaint, the cause was not within that court's jurisdiction.
fiiTsimple terms, the decision, if alowed to "standi mean§ the
GRA-can prevent a private citizen from having- his day'in
court by merely neglecting to-pass judgment' upon any protest'coming before it!
*1'" As the' case goes before the United States Supreme
Court; a recent'" warning uttered by Representative Hattoh
W. Sumners of Texas, rings with new meaning:- "The bulk
of what are in effect our general laws are'now- being made
not'br Congress but by bureaucrats." The threat* of "bureayh
